With your background, thought you might like to see what started the Military Police in Britain. Prior to the Royal Military Police - who were not formed until after the start of WW1 - policing for the army was carried out by the Provost Staff Corps. This example has George 5th Crown and cypher and was carried by a sgt at one of the ports in Nth. France, where the British first went ashore.
